I used to say “there’s nowhere to eat breakfast in Vancouver”. Until one day, I decided to challenge that idea, myself, and the city of Vancouver to a breakfast adventure. Each weekend (almost), I search out a new place to eat breakfast. This is what I have come across so far...

The Templeton

UPDATE (04/22/10): Granville Street has gone through a process of gentrification in the past couple of years, and it can barely be called “dodgy” anymore, alas. Still a fave, though.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Templeton is a long-standing diner that is still going strong. This place is all about the atmosphere. It is always full of good energy, even if it is in the midst of a dodgy strip of Granville. Don’t get me wrong, the local businesses only add to the charm of the place.

Those susceptible to nostalgia will love the Little box o’ Kellogg’s cereal. Those who more appreciate the modern will find free-range eggs, handmade organic turkey sausage and organic hot oatmeal. I had the straight-up Truckers Breakfast which included 3 eggs any style, turkey sausage or bacon or veggie bacon, rosemary potatoes and toast. All for under $8 – great value.

Hi Barry,Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. I am happy to hear you enjoyed The Templeton. I hope you make it back to Twisted Fork on a brunch day, I'm sure you will enjoy, as well.Happy breakfasting!
